I highly recommend you try this: Join a match with a tank that has a good amount of hp. Find a random pubbie and insult him before the match starts. Once it does, shoot him just one time. If you're lucky, he will start firing back at you multiple times which will most likely result in him getting a one hour ban. It should make you feel better.

In other words, drive a tog. That thing is probably a great bait tank for that kind of thing. No armor and lots of hp allowing multiple people to get banned if they get too worked up.

Between the KV-220 and the Churchill III, I prefer the Church. The KV is certainly fun because it's super bouncy, but its gun just doesn't have enough pen even with gold to take on teir 6 heavies. Basically, the Church can carry while the KV really can't.

Relative tier matters. If the BC was just loving with 9s and the E4 hit/spotted 10s it's totally possible.

Even then, you're having to shoot for a rather thin margin of weak spot. Fighting T14s is fun because while they have to really try to get that 75mm shell into your turret, you can just poo poo 76mm rounds (even HE, if you could ever justify carrying any) into their MG port all day long.

Yeah, I was finally able to finagle a ~mastery~ of the T54E1 because I had a Stalingrad game with T10 artillery. Whenever I fought on Battle Tiers 9 and 10 I'd always just get first class no matter how well I did.

Ok, so the German 111 mission was pretty simple, finished that at tiers 6-8 basically using almost 100% tanks with 88s. I was averaging about 850:1 damage:kills, so by the time I got 150 kills I just had to get a little more damage and then I was done. The Soviet mission is more frustrating; I'm generally using high-alpha tanks and doing way more damage than kills; I'm guessing about 1500-2000:1 damage:kills. I hit the 150k damage and needed 50 more kills, and still haven't finished the mission after this past weekend. We played almost 100 games, with ~75% winrate. KV-2, SU-152, ISU, 416, and some 122-54 thrown in. I'm basically doing all the damage on the front end, and then the targets get finished off while I'm on reload. It's interesting to compare the experience in those tanks to that of the German 88s. On the upside, I'm getting very familiar with the fantastic 416 and ISU, both of which I'm also grinding so.... :toot:

Also, I passed 55% global winrate this weekend, so an extra :toot: for me!

Anyone want to be my recruit to get me the special tonk? That Aussie I recruited just sort of disappeared without playing a single game. :iiam: We can disucss compensation.

That change would help me a lot. It's kind of a crutch coming from Xbox. If you are looking in the general direction of an enemy tank and they are looking at you, you get an exclamation point whether you can see them or not and then the sixth sense perk works like normal when you finally get that. The default doesn't help with getting shot in the rear end or sides but it is useful. The change seems better then even the Xbox system.

I've had a lot of fun rolling around in my KV-1 rockin the 11 mm U-11 gun and the huge view and signal range is great. I'm not sure where to go now though. I've read the KV-2 is a big troll machine that is a lot of fun and while I dig that I've also read the T-150 is the more resilient tank. The T-150 has the option to use the mm U-11 but at tier 6 will it still be viable to use it? I've actually unlocked the KV-2 but then saw the 920k price range. By the time I hit a million credits I'll be able to unlock and afford any of the 3 choices at this point. (KV-2, KV-1S, T150) I don't know anything about the KV-1S.

The U-11 is 122 mm, not 11 mm. Also, the KV-1's view & signal ranges are atrocious; it's almost blind. :psyduck:

The KV-1S is fun; it's similar to the KV-1 but loses some armor for mobility, so it depends on your playstyle (I prefer the former.) They even get basically the same two top guns, the 122 and an 85 (the KV-1 also gets a 57 if you want a peashooter on your heavy tank.)

The KV-2 is indeed a troll machine and is very fun, while the T-150 is more of a conventional heavy tank; it's basically an evolution of the KV-1. I have both (actually, I kept all of the tanks you mentioned) if that helps you decide. :cheeky:

I know relative tier matters, but we're talking tier 10 tanks here so it's not like they can shoot higher tier tanks for bonus exp, and shooting down seems to have less of an effect. I mean, adding up damage and spotting damage the BatChat literally did more than 4 times the damage the E4 did. Then of course there's the whole shooting stuff you're not spotting yourself, but they both got spotting damage so...yeah. I dunno.

starting to get the hang of the panther 88. its really quite alright. think my initial disappointment was due to truly cursed mm.

http://wotreplays.eu/site/1510936



I am a bad player and even I manage to be decent in that tank, if it wasn't for the T10 games my average damage and thus credit output would be a lot higher too. Last weekend almost all the T8 games I got in it ended with me getting 100-130k credits.
It is not a bad tank, the only flaw is the lack of pref MM. The lack of mobility can be worked around and this thing can actually annoy other T8/T9 mediums enough to beat them. I've yet to platoon with this tank but I really feel it can shine even more with a buddy in a brawler medium.

Others manage too, Ace Tanker is somewhere around 2k xp for this thing, I had a 1912 xp game and it only got 1st Class.

yeah, ace requirements seem very high at the moment for some weird reason. More so, considering that every panther 88 driver I've encountered ingame so far have been absolute waste of the lowest order. Average damage just below 2k the last two sessions with the tank, so I'm gonna give it a passing grade. It still has a bunch of glaring weaknesses though, but in general its not bad. Think I'll use this and the 111 as my prime moneymakers from now on.

PSA: If any of you want to get one of the cheaper t8 premiums, the p88 seems to be a much better option than the spergshing.

also, last night was weird:

You don't want to platoon a -220 with an SU-85B, it invalidates the fixed MM. Nevermind, read it wrong and forgot the -85B is T4 and will only see up to a max of T6 like a fixed T5.

Also, for some reason I've a feeling that the WZ-111 will be the last call for a 'new' fixed MM tank. The M56 Scorpion is getting de-tiered to T7 and keeping the 90mm. I think that's what they're going to do from now on - subtract a tier from a tank that might otherwise get fixed MM, and ensure it at least has a *chance* against the maximum tier it'll face, which at T7 would be T9, and the 90mm M3 it'll get has 243mm gold pen and 160mm with AP.

I also wonder what would happen if they decided to re-release the Type 59...only with a 'variant' name (Type 59D, for instance, with non-functional but decorative reactive armor) that didn't get fixed MM, just to troll everyone.
